Howl makes a Raksa Kubrow frighten nearby enemies. Consider it when you want the Kubrow’s precept to affect groups within a growing radius; the effect’s rank determines the target count, range, and duration.
Equip on a Raksa Kubrow for its listed fear effect.
Effect and rank scaling
At rank 0, Howl affects 5 enemies within 4 m for 6 seconds. At rank 3, it affects 11 within 16 m for 12 seconds; at rank 5, 15 within 24 m for 16 seconds. It is a standard Rare Raksa Kubrow mod with Penjaga polarity and base drain 0.
Ranking and role choice
The listed fusion costs rise from 30 Endo and 1,449 Credits for the first rank to 480 Endo and 23,184 Credits for the final rank. Ranking increases the number of affected enemies, range, and duration. The comparison, Protect, is a Raksa precept that replenishes shields and adds shield regeneration for 3 seconds; it serves a different defensive role rather than duplicating Howl.
Listed sources include Corrupted Drahk, Drahk, Kubrow, Kuva Drahk, and Tamm.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Lower ranks have much shorter range and duration and affect fewer enemies.
The defensive Raksa alternative, Protect, has a distinct shield-support effect.
Common mistakes to avoid
Expecting the maximum range, target count, and duration at low rank.
